Reset Camera's Won't Connect (SADP / NVR)

[KGroot]

Hi all,

I'm new with all things ip camera, but i'm comfortable enough with anything with a wire that i thought i could tackle this myself: guess not.

The environment:
DS-7716NI-I4/16P NVR (Factory Reset)
Unmanaged Netgear POE switch
About 22 IP camera's (all Hikvision)

The problem:
Not one camera is getting online, whatever i try

What i have tried:
Factory Reset NVR
Hard Reset Camera
Factory Reset Router
SADP tool / NVR

Connect (reset) camera to router (so i could set up using sadp)
-> Camera doesn't seem to get an IP from my router.
-> Tried different router (with nothing connected but laptop and one camera); same result
-> Tried different ip pools (192.0.0.64, 192.168.1.*, 192.168.1 etc. etc.)
Sometimes i can see a camera popping up in the dhcp table, but it doesn't show up in SADP or web interface

Connect to NVR
-> Factory Reset NVR
-> Reset camera
-> Connect direct on PoE port on NVR, camera just stays on 'Detecting' (Plug & Play)

So far i think the whole problem starts with the camera's not getting an IP; from either the NVR or my router.
What am i missing here? Hope you guys/girls can help me out because i'm chasing my tail here.

Possibly the "hard reset" cams all now have a static IP of 192.168.1.64 (Hikvision cams default) and won't receive an IP via DHCP.

To find out, unplug your PC from your LAN.
Config the PC's NIC to have a STATIC IP on the same subnet, say 192.168.1.20, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Power up the cam with a 12 VDC wall wart of sufficient current (2.0 Amps should do) OR connect to a POE switch with nothing else plugged into it.
Plug the PC directly into the cam's port or a port on the POE switch that is powering the cam.
Open a browser on the PC to 192.168.1.64 and report back.
